The Cr-48 and Chrome OS: Google's vision of the netThe Cr-48 and Chrome OS: Google's vision of the netPosted Jan 20, 2011 9:10 UTC (Thu) by jschrod (subscriber, #1646)In reply to: The Cr-48 and Chrome OS: Google's vision of the net by elanthis Parent article: The Cr-48 and Chrome OS: Google's vision of the net
While I *am* (almost) a "50 year washed up professional", most of my friends and acquaintaces aren't, ranging in age from kids to 70+. And, you probably won't be able to imagine, real 3D games is very low priority to most of them. Those who are hardcore gamers are mostly quite young and don't work yet full time, or are nerds with almost no social life besides their gaming communities. And, sadly(!), Apple products like iPhone are very popular, even if they are not bought for gaming.
See, I can make up empiric evidence as easy as you! You seem to be a hard-core gamer, or you think the IT world revolves around hard-core gamers. News flash: It ain't so, we 40+-ers aren't so fixated on gaming and we have more money to spend on IT devices than you.

The Cr-48 and Chrome OS: Google's vision of the net Posted Jan 20, 2011 14:02 UTC (Thu) by vonbrand (subscriber, #4458) [Link] I think you are both wrong ;-) It might very well be that what is decisive for someone isn't exactly their main use of the machine: This one here is used mainly for web (like now), email and editing LaTeX. But not having decent MS Office suport (even if used much less than 5% of the time) would have been a show stopper for me.
